2011-06-17 Brewers (Marcum) at Red Sox (Lackey) - [Brewers lose, 10-4]

[chickinbrickin]

This series is going to be a serious reality check for us Brewers fans, the manager, and hopefully Melvin. You can't keep running out a bunch of scrubs and hope to compete for a world series against the Sox, Yankees, Phillies ect. This team can keep making cute little winning streaks against the bottom of the NL, but that won't get them more than MAYBE a wild card.

Well Mr Herrera, hope you've finished up those online courses you were working on.

Does Logan Int'l. have a red-eye to Nashville? Herrera better hope not.

 

I think the more important question would be a flight in other direction, anyway they changed it to a night game so should be able to get someone else here from Nashville.

[pebadger]

How is Herrera forced into the lineup when they have a perfectly good arm in McClendon sittingin Nashville? Herrera is a LOOGY at best. If your LOOGY isn't very good, you may as well just have a general use bullpen guy on the roster and take your chances with the guys you have. Roeneike himself earlier this season was talking about how the had no lefties at all in teh pen with the Angels on many occasions. Un less your LOOGY is really good at his job, you're better off with the better overall pitcher. That ain't Herrera. Not hating. Just the truth.

The Red Sox are all beat up with guys on the DL or out with injury or suspension and they are still way better than us

If we could keep this one out of the "laugher" category that would be nice.

Some good news the Reds have lost.

Some good news the Reds have lost.

Also, Pittsburgh is losing and the Cards are tied.

[markedman5]

Good thing we play in the National league because we don't stack up against this team.............

If we don't show some ability to beat someone other than the absolute dregs of MLB (a free-falling Marlins squad notwithstanding) it's not going to matter much.

We just swept the Cardinals last weekend.

[mastershake76]

remember when our bullpen was rock-solid and we didn't have any starting pitchers?

Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.

Oh yeah, now it's a laugher.

[jason21nl]

who would have guessed Drew would have got a hit off of Dillard ? Another problem with this team is the pen and the fact that we have too many pitchers that are situational

[Oxy]

Who is the "forfeit" pitcher for the Brewers? Josh Wilson? Yuni?

I guess I forgot to include the Marlins-esque free-falling cardinals, losers of 6 straight now. I suppose if we happen to catch everyone in free-fall mode we'll be fine and dandy.

They were one of the hottest teams in baseball when we played them. Their free fall started after we swept them.

Another disappointing road trip. This is getting old quickly. I still can't figure out what changes when these guys hit the road.

COBrewerfan]We have played 2 innings and people have jumped ship. Does milwaukee just have a losers mentality? We aer facing Lackey who gives up plenty of hits. And the cubs somehow beat the yanks today. Anything can happen.

How about instead of a loser's mentality, maybe in fact a realistic view of the way the game would likely go given what happened to Marcum in the first?

 

How many times does a starter not make it to the 2nd inning and the team wins a game? That was the reality of the situation.

 

[bucksman4]

Is our bullpen this bad or is their lineup this good?

can't it be both?

Agreed, and with the guys we all knew we'd have to use in the pen, there's not a whole lot of reason to be optimistic. Need the starting pitcher to go more than 1 inning to win a game. Especially, with the bullpen we have currently.

2 of 3 @ Philadelphia, 2 of 3 vs. Giants...didn't check if they were free falling at the time
